Rooted in the Faith
Your special day shouldn't be centered around the photos, I photograph in a way that the photos are a by-product of the joy and love shared on your special day. From the Crowning to the Dance of Isaiah to the partaking of Holy Communion, I aim to capture the raw tears and smiles shared as well as the reverence of the Holy Mystery.
As an Orthodox Christian myself, I have learned the rhythm of the wedding service. I follow the Priest's lead and capture the weight of the moment.
About Nikholas Novachuk
Orthodox Wedding Photographer | Authentic, Candid & Effortless.
Originally from California, I moved to Arizona with my parents in 2010. Their Russian roots, paired with a community of Greek friends, developed my multilingual background in English, Russian, and Greek.
Having grown up in the church, Orthodox weddings have always been a part of my life. There's something special about capturing a day that carries so much meaning, not just for the couple, but for their families and their faith. I'd love to hear your story and be part of yours.
